The lesson states "some adverbs are placed between the auxiliary verb and the past participle. These include 'encore'.
The Larousse online dictionary gives the following examples of 'encore' [3. dans des phrases négatives] which follow this rule using ne...pas ne...rien ne...jamais.
je n'ai pas encore fini I haven't finished yet vous n'avez encore rien vu ! you haven't seen anything yet !je n'avais encore jamais vu ça ! I'd never seen anything like it before !
My question is, why is 'encore' placed after 'pas' but before rien and before jamais?
Thank You
Hi,
Is there a reason why is there no liaison of the words ´pas envié in the final sentence of this exercise-´Enfin, j’adore les bonbons mais je n’ai pas envie de partager’?
Est-ce que le verbe gambader utilise l'objet indirecte? (qui lui gambadait) Merci

Merci encore
Bonjour
1)A la place de dire 'tourner doucement' est-ce qu'on pourrait mettre ' tourner soigneusement' ou bien 'tourner attentivement'
2)Normalement on gare un véhicule . Est-ce que quelqu'un peut m'expliquer l'emploi du verbe 'se garer'. Moi, j'ai écrit 'garer soi meme' (to park yourself)
Merci a l'avance et je vous souhaite une excellente journee !
Est-ce que je peux écrire
baisser la température
a la place de
faire descendre la temperature

… isn’t it?
Avoir besoin de. Avoir envie de. Devoir. I try guessing by picking one or two or three depending on the activity and invariably get it wrong. I think your explanatory text needs more clarification, especially in the use of avoir envie de as an option for ‘need to’. Thank you for your time.
Can I take a full TCF sample test, to determine my current level?
if ‘avoir envie de’ can be used as an alternative to ‘avoir besoin de’ for saying ‘needs to go to the bathroom’, why can’t it also be used for ‘needs to take a day off’? Isn’t it all down to context in both cases?
I know the masculine form is more dominant than the feminine form. How come the correct answer in this quiz is ‘zombie’ not ‘zombi’?
